Chest Tightening, No Pain Or Shortness Of Breath. Taking Lisinopril And Prevacid. Ex-smoker

Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!
You are might be having a recurrence of your heart burn disease- Acid peptic disease typically produces such sympoms.
But it sounds more of a musculoskeletal problem because you were handling some boxes having good weight; it may be a pulled chest muscle.
The cardiac pain does not subside that fast and it can not be relieved by stretching. And cardiac pain does not cause local soreness to palpation.
I think you should take a paracetamol(acetaminophen) and chlorzoxazone combination and local Volini spray to relieve the muscle spasm.
You sould also continue to take your acidity medicine for 15 days in sequence.
I hope the advise would be helpful for you.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
